<find> is the name of the Find key.
If you use X11, you can bind it to a physical key if you know its
keycode with the line:
keycode 78 = Find
in ~/.Xmodmap
You can also ignore it, since with emacs you can bind any key to a command.
So assuming you want to be able to search-forward by typing just: C-c C-s
you can put:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-s") 'search-forward)
in ~/.emacs, or for temporarily try it out:
M-x global-set-key RET C-c C-s search-forward RET
Then if you type:
C-h w search-forward RET
you should see the added key binding.
